What is the abstract noun agent?

The abstract noun "agent" refers to the power or ability to act or exert influence. It describes a force or entity that causes something to happen, without necessarily being a specific person or thing.

Here are some examples of how "agent" is used as an abstract noun:

* The agent of change: This refers to the force or influence that brings about change.

* The agent of destruction: This refers to the force or influence that causes destruction.

* The agent of chaos: This refers to the force or influence that brings about disorder.

Note: The word "agent" can also be used as a concrete noun to refer to a person or thing that acts on behalf of another, such as a real estate agent or a secret agent. However, in the context of "abstract noun", it refers to the concept of agency itself.
